Social Stratification Of The Mayan Civilization

Some evidence that is shown that these civilizations were labor specialization, trade and monument works, social stratification and centralized authority. The Harappa for example, showed their central authority by their rulers. The Harappa civilization were ruled by wealthy merchants, landlords and spiritual leaders, who were showed their status through their collection of fine jewelry like obsidian and shells, thus depicting their social stratification, because only the rulers were rich. Everyone else beneath them didn't have as much riches. The Harappan didn't show any evidence of monumental works but they did show evidence trade work.
